That rich chocolate and fresh peppermint combo? Pure festive magic, y&#8217;all! My take a classic peppermint bark starts with a layer of bittersweet chocolate, topped with creamy white chocolate, and finished off with a sprinkle of crushed peppermints for a holiday crunch. Trust me, boo, this one&#8217;s a crowd-pleaser that&#8217;ll have everyone reaching for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/peppermint-bark-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/peppermint-bark-1.jpg\" alt=\"Peppermint bark broken into pieces and stacked up on top of each other. \" class=\"wp-image-16260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/peppermint-bark-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/peppermint-bark-1-277x416.jpg 277w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/peppermint-bark-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/peppermint-bark-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/peppermint-bark-1-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The key to nailing this bomb peppermint bark is in the layering.

It helps to make everything even so you have perfect amounts of milk chocolate and white chocolate in each taste!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Crush the Candy:<\/strong> The easiest way to crush your peppermint candies is to place them in a Ziploc bag and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to break them into small pieces.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Partially Set the First Chocolate Layer:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t let it get completely hard &#8212; just 8-10 minutes is fine. This will ensure that the two different layers stick together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Let It Set: <\/strong>After adding the white chocolate, allow your bark to set in the refrigerator before breaking apart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heating the Chocolate:<\/strong> The chocolate will melt more quickly in a metal bowl but watch it very closely to ensure it doesn&#8217;t overheat. This may cause the chocolate to burn. Once most of the chocolate is melted you can remove it from over the heated water and the residual heat in the bowl and melted chocolate will finish melting it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-popular-substitutions-amp-additions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Popular_Substitutions_Additions\"><\/span>Popular Substitutions &amp; Additions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Get creative!

Once it&#8217;s broken into pieces store them in an airtight container. Separate layers of bark with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Store the container in a cool, dry place. If your kitchen is warm or humid, you may want to keep the bark in the refrigerator to maintain its texture and prevent melting. I prefer to keep in the refrigerator so it keeps its signature snap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-long-will-chocolate-bark-last\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_will_chocolate_bark_last\"><\/span><strong>How long will chocolate bark last?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Chocolate bark can generally be stored this way for several weeks, making it a perfect make-ahead treat!

Though it may soften the candy topping (or any other topping you use), the chocolate flavor will remain intact. Store it in the same way above with parchment in between the layers. You can freeze it for up to one month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/peppermint-bark-4-1.jpg\" alt=\"Peppermint bark on a plate with a dish of peppermint candies in the corner.\" class=\"wp-image-59795\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/peppermint-bark-4-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/peppermint-bark-4-1-570x380.jpg 570w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/peppermint-bark-4-1-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/peppermint-bark-4-1-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-frequently-asked-questions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1715187988905\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why do my layers of white and bittersweet chocolate split apart rather than stick together?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">This issue likely happens when you let the darker chocolate set for too long in the fridge before adding the white chocolate layer. It&#8217;s important to only partially set the chocolate so that it is a little soft and adheres to the white chocolate keeping the layers intact. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1715358420010\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What can I use instead of an offset spatula to spread out the chocolate?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I love the offset spatula for this task but if you don&#8217;t have one you can use a butter knife, spatula, or the back of a spoon to spread out the chocolate. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1715358648130\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I use chocolate chips?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I don&#8217;t recommend using chocolate chips for melting chocolate. They have ingredients added which help them maintain their shape when baked. I find they may not melt as smoothly as chocolate bars or melting chocolate.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/peppermint-bark-3.jpg\" alt=\"Chocolate bark pieces with white and dark chocolate layers stacked up on a plate.\" class=\"wp-image-59794\" srcset=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/peppermint-bark-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/peppermint-bark-3-277x416.jpg 277w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/peppermint-bark-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/peppermint-bark-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/peppermint-bark-3-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Y&#8217;all are going to love this easy chocolate bark I just know it!
